If you need to add more information to a task description or highlight specific parts of the text, you can use more advanced formatting options. This only applies to the description and not checklists.
Here are a list of most useful tips for styling your tasks:
Headings
Try one of the following formatting options to adjust the size of your headings in the Task Description ✏️
# This is heading style 1
## This is heading style 2
### This is heading style 3
Using these above formats will give you different-sized headings like the screenshot here 👇
Italics & Bold
To create a different look to specific words, you'll want to use one of the following three options 🖋
Create italics, with *asterisks* or _underscores_.
Create bold, with **asterisks** or __underscores__.
Create bold and italics with _**asterisks and underscores**_.
This will change your text to this 👇
Lists
Create bullet point lists using asterisks with a space after each item 📝
* Monday
* Tuesday
* Wednesday
These will give you bullet points like this 👇
Links
Links can be a great way to direct teams to other websites 🔗
You can hyperlink text or post the link itself
My favourite website is [Trail](www.trailapp.com)
Here's a raw link: <http://www.example.com>
These links will look like this 👇
Images
Images can be a great way to add more context to a task 🖼
Here is the Trail logo:

Quotes
Quotes are handy for calling out content 📣
> This line is highlighted as part of a quote.
You'll end up with text like this 👇
